The Rivian First Mile program was conceived as a high-value, direct-experience event for preorder holders, translating the promise of the R1T into tangible performance in Normal, IL.

We structured the exploratory campus and drive course to guide enthusiasts through key product narratives, designing eco-friendly wayfinding and robust display exhibits that showcased everything from design inspiration to the vehicle's functional storage capacity.
